Galileo to never speak or write on the Copernican theory again. He was

Galileo returned to Florence and turned his work toward astronomy and the

planted. Although the Pope had crushed his efforts to enlighten the
scientific community, Galileo had opened up the minds of those who had
listened to him, thereby starting the slow breakup of church domination
over science.
In 1624 Galileo visited Rome again because his old friend, Maffi Barberini,

would not do this, but did give Galileo permission to write a new book
